nonsense first • anime maybe

At long last, I have finally finished episode 008. I had recorded part of it last weekend, and then the rest on Monday. The problem was that I didn’t have any time to edit it.And the time I did have, I spent playing Resident Evil 4.

Video games aren’t something I normally do, but when I do play them, I can’t stop. This is kinda funny because I make fun of the game in the episode. It wasn’t until after I recorded that I really started playing it. Once I beat the game, I’ll do an episode/segment on it. Theres a few things I need to mention.

At the 20 minute mark my voice changes dramatically. I was just waking up when I finished the show. Also, the random guy talking in the middle is a wrong number that I got on the shows voicemail account. I was really excited cause I thought it was a fan at first, but it was just some random guy. I thought it was kinda funny so I put it in there.

Speaking of, you can now send me voicemail at 206-203-2149. And please do. I want feed back damn it. Ha. This took me so long, I already need to record this next one. So I’m going to finish Maze after class (which is in a half hour, yikes) and then record later tonite after work (which will be sometime around 2am, yikes again). I also have Saturday off, so I might do another episode just because, and possibly some other stuff. I’m also going to try and meet up with Chris and record some ranting and whatnot. Basically, I want to record as much stuff as I can, so I can just edit it in between class and release it in case I miss my deadline again.

Wow! It took so much effort to finally get this damn show out. I finshed the recording/editing process a few days ago–that wasn’t the problem. The problem was that I exceeded my limits for the month on libsyn. This is unfortunate because, including this one, I still have another show to do for this month. So what I did was bite the bullet pay for a domain name/file hosting service. Eventually the website will just be www.fightbait.com. I have to create a new site first thought. That may take a few months to do depending on how complex I want the new site to be. I might just make a basic blog site like this one if I’m lazy, but I kinda want something a little flashier.

In this episode I talk about a lot of different things. First, I talk about my “week of discoveries.” After that theres some minor ranting in the news section. Then I review two titles from the new manga periodical YEN PLUS. After that, I jump right into the main review–THE DARK MYTH.

This is the longest episode yet. Despite the editing taking a lot longer, I kinda want to keep the length around this amount. I like longer podcasts. Granted, I’m not just going to talk about nothing each week so I can pad it out–I’m thinking of doing more small reviews along with the big one like I did this week. Who knows.

At long last episode 006 has finally come out. I’d like to apologize for it taking so long. It would’ve been sooner but when I went to edit the episode I discovered that the last 20+ minutes of the show was gone. It also doesn’t help that I decided to sleep most of today instead of edit the new audio.

In this episode we review two great mangas: +Anima and Offered. We read our first listener email. Theres also sweet background music throughout the whole show. Topics range from Naruto hentai, Fist of the North Star sausage, bear arms–theres even a bit at the end of the show where I insult people who want to have sex with little girls. Enjoy the show!

This is the shortest episode yet. It has a short opening, short news segment, and even a short review. I don’t have a cohost this time, but I’ll try to get someone to join me next week. One thing to look foward to that I mention is our first contest. I have an extra copy of the entire Boogiepop Phantam series and once I come up with a good contest idea I’ll be giving that away. The trick is that you’re going to have to email me or send an audio file to win that. I might wait until the next book comes out and have a trivia contest that revolves around that book, but who knows. Well, thats all for this week. Enjoy the episode, and send me some damn feedback!

Also, the Discipline reading I did for AWO is at the end of this episode.

This is the opening for Dai Mahou Touge

Since this isn’t subtitled, here are the lyrics

Spinny spinny princess rod.I’ve arrived with a dance from a magical land.Spinny spinny magical stick.I’m Tanaka Punie, pleased to make your aquintance.Blitzkrieg, clean sweep, annihilation, tenka fubu.Don’t believe the soothing words and nice smiles.Lyrical tokarev, kill them all.I’ll send you straight to heaven!Lyrical tokarev, kill them all.Only one shall be left alive.My fists do the talking!There’s only one path to supremacy.My fists do the talking!

This is the first part of our coverage on Kakkoi Con. I’m not sure how many parts there will be altogether. I’m guessing five–this one, one for each day, and one for the random panel. In this section we talk about our overall impressions of the weekend. The good and the bad. We also briefly talk about a few panels. If we missed anything that you feel we should’ve touched on then you can email us at fightbait@gmail.com.

Depending on how long editing takes, a regular episode might be out within the next few days. As for the rest of our Kakkoi Con coverage (including pictures), I still need to review everything. I have many hours of audio and 200+ pictures, so that will very likely be done little by little.

This marks the first regular episode with a co-host. Because I actually had something else to talk to this week, the episode is about 20 minutes longer than the others, but its also more entertaining. We talk about a lot of random things in this episode. Topics include Kakkoi Con, Apocalypse Zero, Rave Master, yaoi, and a few voice actors too. Our review is pretty epic too. We’re a little tired at first but overall, its a fun time. I just hope Kie continues to help out, but who knows.

This episode gave me a lot of trouble. It took longer to edit for some reason. I think theres a conflict with the program I use to edit and my new computer because I remember the program being more user friendly.

I hope everyone likes this episode. I’m been doing my best to improve each week. So far I think I’m doing pretty good, but theres a lot that I can do to make it better. This week I review 3×3 Eyes. It was pretty good at first and then got really lame. I did my best to at least make the review enjoyable.

Also, I talk about a really creepy dream I had. Its right before the news section. If you’re easily offended I would suggest skipping that part. Actually, I would suggest not listening to this show in general. As I’m getting more comfortable doing the show I’ve been swearing and talking more, and I can be pretty offensive. Oh well, enjoy the show.

We have a much better show this time around. I do things a little more official this time; in fact, I almost follow a format! I talk about some site news right away. Then I briefly talk about some new OVAs and a new manga. The majority of the episode, however, is the epic Knights of Ramune review complete with sound clips.

Theres less promos this time around. I decided that one every ten minutes was too often. Even though this episode is ten or so minutes longer than the last one I only inserted two promos this time.

After months of saying that I was going to start an anime podcast, I finally actually did it. In this first episode I introduce myself and talk about how I got into anime so many years ago. I also talk very briefly about some AX news and some upcoming releases that I’m looking foward to.

I didn’t review anything this week. I need to research a little better before I try that again. Next week, however, I will be discussing the absolutely terrible show known as Knights of Ramune. That should be interesting.

I also inserted a couple promos of my favorite podcasts roughly every 10 minutes. I’m not sure if that’s too ofter or not. I wanted to promote all three of them, but since this first episode didn’t end up being terribly long I did the best I could.
